Hey all,
So I have about 4 dolphin hd bookmark shortcuts on my homescreen. Randomly they will lose their red/star logo and all get the stock droid icon (same as the market icon). The links still work but I've tried throwing them in the trash and replacing them which works for awhile but a couple days later they lose their icon again. It's just annoying, I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue and if they found a fix.
Thanks
ugh its happening more then once a day now.

I just found this forum and am hoping to find some help. I just switched from an iPhone to the Inspire and so far am loving it except for one small issue. Some of the apps I downloaded will have the icon reset from the one installed to the stock android app icon. This only seems to happen when they are in folders. I can reset them by going into the app menu and dragging the original back into the folder and then deleting the one that was set to stock. It's not a deal breaker problem but it is irritating. I check the forums for a solution and couldn't find one. Anyone have any ideas? Oh, this is on a stock phone, no root or hacks have been tried. Thanks in advance
I had this same problem (icons resetting to stock green and white android icons, but only when they are in folders) after doing a battery pull. And it seems like there has to be a way to restore the "app-specific" icons without having to re-drag them to folders etc. Interested to see if there is a more efficient solution.
Mine seems to do it after I unplug it from being mounted to my comp or sometimes after a reboot. I also hope for a quicker solution.
I have one other thing I think is odd. On all of the pictures I see of other peoples Inspire home screen the App/Phone/Personalize dock is radiused. Mine is very square. Is this normal or is mine just odd?
Nobody else has this problem or any information?
I have had this problem after installing/deleting apps. I just long press the power key and hit restart and that seems to fix it.

I found that choosing a different skin also brings back the icons. This isn't a serious problem but it is irritating. Anyone know why this happens?
Ive had this happen on my dell when using launcher pro when i had the apps hidden in the app draw. I had to open prefs in launcher pro and restart launcher pro to get them fixed, after every reboot or updated apps it seemed to happen
Hi,
I've only had my Nexus S for a couple of days and loving it so far, but this morning I had a problem. Here's how it happened:
When my alarm clock went off I hit the snooze button and turned the screen off, went back to sleep. 10 minutes later the alarm went off again later as expected and so I hit snooze again and turned the screen off like before. 5 minutes later I decided to get up as otherwise I would have been late for work, so I go to my phone to disable the alarm as otherwise it would be buzzing when I'm in the shower and the missus would get annoyed. The problem however was that I couldn't unlock the screen! I was jabbing at the power button repeatedly to get it to come on but no response at all. I ending up removing the battery. I should also add that my phone was plugged in a the time as I'd left it charging over night.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I will try and replicate the problem. Here's how my phone is at the moment:
All my homescreens are bare apart from the main one where I have a 4 shortcuts, google search bar and the analogue clock widget. Apps I currently have installed are: Ebay official, facebook official, Twitter official, 3G watchdog, Fruit Ninja, Angy Birds, Live Holdem, Google maps, Gmail Unread Count, Movies, TV Guide.
I'm hoping that this problem was just a one-off.
Thanks
sort of same here. i bought it last thursday and today i can't use the lower part of the screen, right where the phone, menu and browser icons are. Space bar won't work when writing text, etc.
If anyone knows how to fix, pls share
The device is stock 2.3.3, i9023XXKB1, didn't root.

I have been using Nexus S for 4 months now, and I do have random reboots once in a while. Did the phone well work after the reboot?

I never had responsive problem on my phone other than the phone just freezing... Maybe theres something wrong, go ask Samsung.
unfortunately i also have such a problem now! since this morning my screen does not respond on touch correctly...it is very hard to unlock the screen (have to do it very slowly, bar is jumping like crazy) and after that it seems like the screen is reacting even on any reflection, suddenly the status bar is coming down, if i am in a menu, it always scrolls down and up...damned, that sux!
any ideas what i could do? or is this a case for samsung support?
ps: i did not flash anything in the last days, i even restored my nandbackup, that i made after 2.3.4-update (no custom kernel, no nothing), but that did not change anything...
I started seeing white noise rendering vertical lines around my SwitchPro app today.
These lines don't show all the time.. but sometimes show briefly after I switch between home screens. My SwitchPro has no background to it and it's transparent. I'll try to take a picture tomorrow from my coworker's Sensation.
Has anyone else gotten same weird lines? Should I go to TMO store and switch out the phone?
I got the white static line on my slacker radio widget after I downloaded and tweaked bunch of stuff on my phone.
I just replaced the widget and hasn't been a problem since.
I think it's a software issue and you might run into this from time to time.
try replacing the widget and see if it helps.
also, restart your phone from time to time if you've downloaded and installed bunch of new apps.

I tried removing the widget and adding it back on this morning and the lines came back up. I just restarted my phone and removed/re-added the widget so we'll see what happens now. I did install bunch of apps before this started happening
Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

Same here... needs re-boot to recover...
I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

Ok thanks for all I´ll re-boot it, but will I lose all my apps? I´ve never done a hard reset.
Everything that wasn't stock on the tablet will have to be reinstalled.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.

yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
Hi guys,
I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for the issue I seem to be experiencing.
Occasionally, when updating the Friendstream, my phone becomes unresponsive and reboots after a few seconds.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
The friend stream is configured to check my Facebook and Twitter accounts.
I haven't noticed the phone freeze on any other screen, only on the one with my Friendstream widget when updating.
I have used the tweak package to install EQS tabbed circle 1% battery, black HTC boot, remove 3 buttom menu and 6x5 rosie. That's all as far as I can remember.
I had the issue in 4.3 and hoped 4.4 would resolve it - unfortunately not.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Russ
